Tranquil Temple
Led by Victoria Gagarina, Corinne Conrad, Rachelle Conradie
A place of rest, nurture and silence. No matter what’s going on, some time spent in tranquility always leads us back home to ourselves. So know that this sacred place is welcoming you anytime during the festival where you feel scattered, ungrounded or overwhelmed and in need to centre and revive. There will always be a sister present welcoming you with an open heart ❤
The Gardeners
Victoria Gagarina
Victoria discovered the power of the singing bowls in her quest to find a balanced practice to calm the mind and restore the inner peace. She learned different techniques for meditation, relaxation, vibrational massage and experiments a lot with combining the healing power of the bowls with essential oils, mantras, aerial yoga. She believes that the bowls are resonating in a unique way with every person and tries to customize each session based on their guidance.
